"We have hired Greg for both home and business repairs. In our home, Greg and his team painted the entire interior of our home. We appreciate his detailed work, particularly in prepping our plaster walls in order to work out any imperfections. We also hired Greg to repair a ceiling leak, replace a wood deck, install a railing in our basement, and several other smaller projects. All were performed with the same attentiveness to detail. Furthermore, he and his crew cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. Last and not least, Greg is responsive to calls. In fact a couple weeks ago I called him late in the evening for an emergency job in our business, and he texted back first thing in the morning and stopped by to help me before going to his first appointment. Overall, Greg is a trustworthy and skilled craftsman, who we strongly recommend."
"I can only say great things about JA Drywall. We had quite a complicated chimney repair. From the beginning of the process, this company stood out from all the others. Most companies did not return my calls. One did respond but never showed up to start work. The JA Drywall owner came to our initial appointment on time, evaluated the job and gave us a reasonable and fair estimate. The work crew then came on time and worked really hard for two days to repair the chimney. At each stage they kept us informed of progress. They did a wonderful job, kept the site clean and tidied up once job completed. On top of their excellent work, they are a team of friendly and courteous workers, who also took care of a few other things that needed attention. I would recommend this company to all who are looking for quality work by a friendly team at a reasonable price."
"Pete called and ask what the problem is. he knew right away how to make repairs to my gutter, that was hanging off of my roof. He came with the special brackets, repaired and cleaned the gutter then cleaned the remaining gutters. Pete is coming back for repairs that i know i can trust him with."
If your drawer slides are made of metal or plastic, it’s best to use white lithium grease to lubricate them. The dense formula of that compound creates long-lasting results and should prevent you from having to re-grease the drawer slides frequently. Test the white lithium grease on a small, less-visible area of the slides first to ensure it doesn’t damage the finish before applying to the entire fixture.
Yes, you can repair cat scratches on leather furniture. A quick fix that won’t repair roughness is a leather recoloring balm that helps scratches blend in. Otherwise, use the following process.
Clean the area and trim loose fibers.
Rub leather binding glue all over the affected area.
Sand the area down with fine-grit sandpaper and clean off any residue.
Fill holes, scratches, and gouges with leather putty from a leather repair kit.
Sand the area down again and clean off any residue.
Apply leather colorant in several layers.
Seal the color in with a leather sealant and finish.
Yes, you can save moldy wood furniture by removing the mold as soon as you notice it. Mold can penetrate and damage porous wood, though, so waiting to clean it could lead to significant damage. If a large coverage area of mold grows over several months, you may want to ask a professional to try to save the piece. If the damage is bad enough, though, even a pro might not be able to save it.
Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you’re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.
Regularly check and tighten screws, avoid excessive weight, and clean surfaces with appropriate materials to prevent damage.
